Passwordless Era is Here! - GAVS Technologies

Angie, the Payroll Manager, reported her phishing email attack to the Cybersecurity team. She was scared when she saw she had put her password on a false bank website that had been transformed for a targeted credential harvesting attack.

Unfortunately, it is much too frequent for users to enter their passwords onto seemingly legitimate-looking websites after clicking on fraudulent URLs.

As a result, now is the time to go Passwordless in favour of an authenticator app or FIDO2 (Fast Identity Online) security keys, which eliminate the need for such credentials. If there is no password field on a website, the attacker will be unable to conduct a harvesting attack. Face ID, fingerprint, biometrics, and push notifications are all secure ways for users to log in to their e-mail, programmes, and systems without having to type or remember their passwords.

Using Passwordless and FIDO2 has several commercial benefits, and it is the current breakthrough in safe digital transformation.

• Avoid high data breach costs by blocking phishing, malware keylogging, credential harvesting, and network sniffing attacks for clients and workers.

• Reduced user friction and a faster user authentication experience because clients and workers will no longer have to deal with password fatigue and will no longer be responsible for the organization's compliance and legal liabilities.

• Because passwords do not verify identity, assurance that only the appropriate persons are approving important transactions.

• Employees and customer success teams, especially the Incident Response team, can free up time by not having to identify and reset all compromised accounts daily.

• There will be no more password policy management.

• Users can use their own devices to unlock cryptographic login credentials, or they can utilise FIDO2 security keys, which are simple to use.

Companies can begin their Passwordless journey by determining their technological requirements, enrollment methods, and prices. Webauthn is supported by the majority of browsers, identity providers, and security providers. The FIDO2 standards will change the way individuals safely authenticate on the internet.
